We return to the Orion region after 2 years to uncover new details using our latest gear, the Takahashi FSQ-106 EDX4, a 6200MM camera, and 3nm Chroma filters. This setup promises to reveal even more breathtaking features than my 2022 attempt.
Astrophotography by Richard Harris
The Rosette Nebula, a vast region of ionized hydrogen gas located in the Monoceros constellation, is an emission nebula distinguished by its rose-like appearance. This celestial structure is approximately 5,000 light-years from Earth and spans about 130 light-years in diameter. At the heart of the Rosette Nebula lies the open star cluster NGC 2244, whose young, hot stars emit intense ultraviolet light, ionizing the surrounding gas and causing the nebula to glow. The nebula's intricate shapes and patterns are sculpted by the stellar winds and radiation from these stars, making it a fascinating subject for astrophotography.
